BLURB:
Iโve had a crush on my best friend, Alex Mendoza, for years, and I was finally going to tell him how I felt. But instead, I got cold feet. And now he thinks Iโm interested in his teammateโmy ex.
Of course, being the good friend he is, Alex has offered to make my ex jealous. Whatโs wrong with a little play flirting?
Well, for starters, Iโm not playing.
Alexโs mom and mine are best friends, soul sisters forged together by growing up in the same small town. They say they didnโt plan it, but the fact that Alex and I were born two weeks apart has always felt very much part of their plan. Our birthday parties were always together. First days of school were the same. And when Alex got his own car, the passenger seat was literally labeled with my nameโNikki Thomas. Convenient since we were inseparable.
For most of my life, Alex has been like the big brother I never had. Heโs always been my protector. And heโs always made me feel safe. But somewhere along the way, he started to make me feel other things too.
Now itโs his senior baseball season, and he has the talent to go pro. His dreams are all coming together. My life, on the other hand, is falling apart. I know Alex would support me if I told him my secrets. After all, thatโs what best friends do. But maybe itโs my turn to be the protector. And if that means all I can have are a few pretend kisses, then perhaps that will have to be enough.
Unless it turns out Alex has been keeping secrets of his own.
I tell stories for a living. Itโs a pretty great gig, actually. Each story has led to an amazing encounter, be it a new appreciation for the view from atop a polo horse to a deeper understanding of what it means to be the parent of a child with autism. Iโve told the stories of Olympians, comedians, doctors, teachers, politicians, activists, criminals, heroes and towns. You can check out a small sampling here or, heck, just Google me โ my journalism work is usually under Ginger Eiden or Ginger Scott-Eiden. I published my debut novel, Waiting on the Sidelines, in spring 2013, and in August 2014, I published my fifth novel, a really raw college romance called This Is Falling. That book hit number one in teen on Amazon, and the entire adventure blew my mind! You see, this storytelling thing is my dream, the kind you wish for as a kid and pine after as you age. I took a leap to go after it, and Iโm so grateful I did. Iโm grateful for every single reader. And I hope to be keeping you up late at night with my words for a long, long time.
